The real joy of visiting and travelling in Portugal is that it is still one of the least discovered corners of Western

Europe. There are countless reasons for visiting this delicious land. Many come in search of sunshine; gleaming,

unspoiled beaches, and crystal clear, unpolluted seas.

Others come to explore graceful cities, towns and villages, to delight in the natural splendours of a staggering

variety of beautiful landscape, to eat well and to drink splendid wines.

Portugal offers true wilderness, too, in the remote regions of its 10 national parks where you can be in real

communion with nature. Well worth visiting are Serra da Estrela, the country’s highest mountain range, Peneda

Gerês, breathtaking in its wild beauty, and the Ria Formosa in the Algarve, a protected area of wetlands, salt-

marshes, lagoons, and saltpans, famous for its rich diversity of flora and fauna and wild birds.

A sense of history is everywhere in cities that were full of life and colour hundreds of years ago – Braga, Porto,

and Coimbra, in the north, Lisbon, on the banks of the River Tejo, Évora and Beja in the Alentejo and Faro on

the south coast.

Portugal is also the land of the bold explorers and mariners, who discovered two thirds of the world, mapped its

seas, its skies, and its continents. The name of one such explorer, Vasco da Gama, stands head and shoulders

above all others. Portugal’s maritime tradition is indelibly imprinted in its culture and reflected in buildings, mu-

seums and a way of life which still today is inextricably linked with the sea.

The majority of Portuguese are open-hearted, easy-going and tolerant. They possess an independence of spirit,

a natural courtesy, a genuine hospitality and kindliness in which strangers are warmly enfolded whether you are

staying in a five star hotel, a private manor house under the Turismo de Habitação scheme, one of the impressive

state-owned hotels called Pousadas, or the growing number of small inns, estalagens and residências.

Yet Portugal has not lost its old world charm. Across the country old customs and tastes endure.

To visitors, Portugal offers a rich, tangible past as well as sunshine and long, clean seductive beaches. Many will

bypass culture to bask by the hotel pool or on the beaches or play golf, but the Portuguese legacy extends to

everyone in the daily spectacle of street and marketplace, in generous food and good wine, in the morals and

the manner of the Portuguese. Portugal’s appeal for the foreigner endures.

You will be able to appreciate more than 20 centuries of history and a vast heritage that Lisbon has shared

with its inhabitants since 11�7, the date when King Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal, captured

the city from the Moors.

Sprawling along the right bank of the enormous Tagus estuary, Lisbon stands looking proudly towards the Atlantic

Ocean and was the muse that inspired the great maritime discoveries. The memories of this golden age are etched

in stone, in the Torre de Belém and the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, both of which have been classified as world herit-

age sites. To the east, the city prefers to show visitors its bright new face, so clearly expressed in the exemplary

modern architecture of the site that housed EXPO’98, the last world exposition of the twentieth century.

At night, the city’s old quarters come alive with the sound of Fado singing and guitar playing, the musical ex-

pression of the soul of Lisbon’s inhabitants. And yet, down the hill at the open-air cafés, bars and discothèques,

whose lights are reflected in the calm waters of the River Tagus, the night is still young. Why not also take ad-

vantage of Lisbon’s special location and enjoy the white sand of the long ocean beaches, just a stone’s throw

from the Portuguese capital? Also to be found close by are a series of excellent golf courses, a casino, and the

romantic town of Sintra, a paradise that has been magnificently set in the most beautiful landscape and has

rightly been classified as world heritage.

Like the Portuguese people, Lisbon is an unpretentious city with a quiet charm that cannot fail to hold you

in its embrace.

lIsBon CITY OF LIGHT

6 �6

Lisbon is proud to call itself the national playground as well as the national CaPital. Served by its in-

ternational airport just a 15-minute drive from the city centre, it boasts an array of deluxe hotels with excellent

conference facilities, as well as beautiful historic palaces and monuments ideal as banqueting venues. There is

wonderful sightseeing, while the city’s gastronomy and wines are unforgettable. The nightlife rivals the capitals

of Europe and many fine new eating houses and other nightspots, many with terraces overlooking the river, are

now concentrated on refurbished areas along the River Tagus stretching intermittently from the World Expo 98

site and the Vasco da Gama bridge to the dock area of Cais do Sodré and Santo Amaro as far as Bélem.

Lisbon is situated on the most regal part of the Tagus and is built on the legendary seven hills that provide many

vantage points over rooftops, inviting parks and gardens, and the great sweep of the harbour and a waterfront

which stretches 30 kms.

The most famous part of town is the hilly alfama district, a labyrinth of cobbled alleys, tiny squares, and elegant

houses, rising in tiers from the Tagus, which has changed little since the Moorish occupation. Old stone houses

lean and tilt almost haphazardly, the streets zig-zag and daily life passes before your eyes – quaint, boisterous and

always fascinating. At night the husky voices of black-shawled singers are heard in the Fado nightclubs.

The contrast with the nearby low-lying baixa distriCt, destroyed in the earthquake of 1755, is dramatic.

This area, containing the Praça do Comércio and the Rossio, was rebuilt in precise grid form by the Marquis of

Pombal with splendid squares and avenues.

The bairro alto district is a big attraction for visitors. This is the most bohemian quarter of the city, rising to the

west in steep streets and stone staircases and lined with restaurants, Fado houses and mildly raffish yet inviting bars.

The lower part of this district, served by several lifts to the upper reaches, embraces the elegant Chiado with its

fashionable department stores and coffee houses, now beautifully restored after a serious fire in 1988.

Another area of Lisbon not to be missed is Belém, home to some of Lisbon’s finest Manueline architecture,

evoking Portugal’s great era of maritime discoveries.

To the west, the riverfront evolves into a series of Atlantic Ocean beaches, forming the Lisbon coastline. This re-

gion has gracious resorts with historic palaces and hotels that are ideal venues for organizing holiday breaks and

conferences and within comfortable travelling distance are more than 20 championship standard golf courses.

gastronomy

Lisbon is a city where eating is most definitely a pleasure. Slow meals, intense, full of flavours and conversation.

Meals with good company, and full of pleasure.

Due to the city’s proximity to the sea, the local gastronomy includes delicious fish and shellfish dishes, celebrated

in the annual “Lisbon Fish Flavours” festival.

Culture

Lisbon is a cosmopolitan capital, with a vast cultural offer and regular events throughout the year. The city is also

proud to maintain its traditions – including fado and Lisbon’s popular festivities.

sPorts

The proximity of the sea and mountains, the unpolluted air and the mildness of the climate throughout the year,

make Lisbon an ideal place for pursuing a variety of sports. There are clubs and companies with the facilities,

equipment and specialized coaches to support almost any kind of sport, from sailing to extreme sports.

Some 20 kilometres from Lisbon and benefiting from all the capital’s professional and human resources is a

world full of truly unique opportunities. Enjoying its own special microclimate and surrounded by lush green

vegetation, Sintra is an all time favourite of kings, nobles, poets, painters and artists. Whether strolling or riding

in a traditional horse-drawn carriage through the town’s cobbled streets, amongst its leafy trees and cooling

fountains, its beautiful palaces and stately homes, it is easy to understand why UNESCO classified Sintra as

World Heritage. Moving closer to the sea, down to the cosmopolitan beaches of Estoril and Cascais, you will find

some truly excellent � and 5 star hotels, equipped with all manner of facilities and offering a wide range of dif-

ferent activities – anything from golf to water sports, tennis, horse-riding or motor-racing. And to make sure that

your night is as unforgettable as your day, there is nothing better than to keep your adrenaline going by enjoying

dinner and a show, followed by a spot of gambling at Estoril Casino’s, Europe’s largest casino as well known for

its extraordinary range of high-quality international shows. And then you can prolong the magic of the evening

by doing the rounds of the many exciting bars in Cascais. Here the night never seems to end before the first

rays of the sun have shone upon the town’s golden beaches.

You would be hard put to find any other place in the world where there are so many facilities for the organization

of events existing in such a restricted area, or with such a perfect blend of creativity and versatility the highest

possible quality. Owing to a Mediterranean type microclimate, the Estoril Coast has mild winters and an ideal

summer temperature, which never gets too hot. The autumn is ideal and is like a second spring.

Known as a beautiful fishing town surrounded by nature and historic settings, the Estoril Coast offers a variety

of products and services that explore the local attractions through sustainable practices. Free bicycle rentals are

available all year long, a coast promenade was renovated and extended 6 kms, recycle-bins and recycle centres

are located in every corner, beaches and parks are kept clean year-round, cultural, sports incentive and social

events are open to public participation, national park trails were created, local wildlife information available in

national park trails and coast promenade, sports activities and tours are a growing offer for locals and tourists,

the electric powered Segways are available for rental in town centre, landscape buildings with historic signifi-

cance renovated, etc.

nature

The Serra de Sintra and the sea bring all the beauty of the region powerfully together to delight the

senses. Due to these influences, the region boasts particularly rich flora and fauna, not to mention

physical geography.

gastronomy

The sea is fundamental to this region therefore, most popular dishes are based on fish and sea-

food. Fish is frequently caught with the rodby solitary fishermen or bought from the daily catch at

Cascais and seafood is meticulously bred along the rocky coast. The region’s winemaking tradition

dates back to Roman times where ecological microsystems made it possible to produce a full-bod-

ied wine in Carcavelos rivalling the more traditional Port.

Culture

The Estoril Coast has a rich historical past. A fantastic range of historical buildings, museums and

other sites of cultural interest all lie within easy reach. In the Sintra hills, the National Palace, the

Moorish Castle, the Pena Palace, Monserrate and Regaleira are all fascinating.

of every level of difficulty up to the highest international standard.

sea

For Sea lovers, there are innumerable other attractions: one can hire yachts and dinghies and - why

not? - take a sailing tour of the coast, enjoying the landscape, including the hills, from a fascinat-

ing new perspective. Additionally, all along the coast the wind and waves are perfect for surfing,

windsurfing, kitesurfing and bodyboarding.

message from the Chief of the

Portuguese naval staff

It is with great pleasure that I extend my warmest

greetings to all attending the International Congress of

Maritime Museums 2013 in Lisbon, Portugal.

While the Portuguese Maritime Museum, commonly

known as Museu de Marinha, celebrates its anniver-

sary, this gathering will be a wonderful opportunity to

observe its vast collection representing Portuguese

Naval History and the intense relationship between the

Portuguese and the Sea.

The Museum was founded in 1863 by King Luís I, a

naval officer in his youth, a lover of oceanographic

studies and an accomplished navigator. Its primary aim

was the preservation of the maritime heritage of Por-

tugal. In the following decades, the collection was con-

tinuously enlarged, culminating in the inauguration of

the Maritime Museum in its present location in 1963,

to mark its first century.

Integrated in the Culture Department of the Portuguese

Navy, Museu de Marinha occupies most of the western

wing of the 16th century’s neo-Manueline Jerónimos

Monastery, a World Heritage Site located in the touris-

tic district of Belém.

I hope that, in addition to attending the Congress, you

have the time to experience the many cultural and rec-

reational activities that Lisbon has to offer as a city that

reflects the World, a true living mosaic

of people and cultures.

I am sure that all involved in organizing the Congress

will do their best to ensure your time with us will be

special. So, on behalf of the Portuguese Navy, please

accept my best wishes for an enjoyable and productive

Congress.

As Mayor of Cascais City Council, and in the name of

the residents of this sea oriented municipality, as well

as in that of all my colleagues on City Council, I hereby

express our profound commitment to the organiza-

tional process for the ICMM Congress 2013.

As Mayor, I am fully committed to hosting in Cascais

an event of the greater importance reuniting the rep-

resentatives of the ICMM – International Congress of

Maritime Museums, known internationally as one of

the most relevant and better prepared professional or-

ganizations of museums connected to the sea.

The King D: Carlos Sea Museum, acutely aware of the

unseverable connection between the history of Cas-

cais and the sea, whether in fisheries, oceanographic

research, nautical sports or tourism, features as a mu-

seum of reference at local and national level, thanks

to its collections, all related to the sea.

Aware of the reputation that Cascais enjoys as a ter-

ritory blessed by nature, and fully capable of hosting

important international events such as the ICMM Con-

gress 2013, it is with pleasure that I invite participants

to benefit from the multiple cultural and entertainment

activities that Cascais has to offer. I know that eve-

ryone involved in organizing the congress will ensure

your time with us is special.

The “Museu de Marinha” lies in the Praça do Império, at Belém, and occupies the north and west wings of the

Jerónimos Monastery. It was founded by King Luís on 22 July,1863 and was originally housed in the Naval

School in Lisbon. A major fire destroyed most of its collection of ship models in 1916. From 19�8-62 the Mu-

seum was housed at Laranjeiras, in north west Lisbon, in the palace of the Count of Farrobo. On 15 August

1962 the collections moved to their present location, to which has been added a modern pavilion filled with the

museum’s larger exhibits.

The present site of the museum is close to the chapel of Our Lady of Belem in which Vasco da Gama prayed

before undertaking his historic voyage to India in 1�97.

The Museum has some 17,000 items and an extensive archive which includes 30,000 photographs. Its perma-

nent display comprises about 2,500 items. These include magnificent collections of ship models covering every

era from the 15th and 16th-century “voyages of discovery” to modern ships.

The main part of the Museum is displayed in themed rooms, many of which are themselves architecturally strik-

ing and hung with oil paintings of explorers and historical events.

In the entrance hall is a huge planisphere depicting the Portuguese Voyages of Discovery from the 15th century

onwards. Amongst the exhibition rooms are ones dedicated to the Discoveries and to the 18th Century and the

19th/20th Centuries.

One of the most memorable rooms is that housing the sumptuous royal quarters of the former royal yacht,

Amélia. The 1370 ton yacht was used by Portuguese royalty from 1887 until the proclamation of the Portuguese

Republic in 1910. Indeed, the yacht carried members of the Portuguese royal family to exile. After service as a

hydrographic vessel, the yacht was decommissioned in 1938. King Carlos and Queen Amélia’s quarters were

preserved and re-erected in the Museum.

A pavilion extension contains a number of boats and royal barges, of which one of the most striking is the royal

brig built for Queen Maria I in 1780. This was propelled by 78 oarsmen and carried such historical figures as

Edward VII and Elizabeth II of England, the later in 1957. Other famous passengers included Kaiser Wilhelm II

of Germany and King Albert I of Belgium.

A major exhibit is the Fairey 17 seaplane, Santa Cruz , in which Sacadura Cabral and Gago Coutinho completed

their historic flight from Belém to Rio de Janeiro in 1922, a distance of �527 miles, which required 62 hours

and 26 minutes of flying time and the use of three separate aircraft, as two were lost en route.

Como nasCeu

O Museu do Mar Rei D. Carlos foi criado por decisão da Câmara Municipal de Cascais, na sequência da cedên-

cia das instalações da Parada, por parte do governo central, em 1976. Deste modo, o antigo edifício do Sporting

Club de Cascaes, situado em pleno centro histórico da Vila de Cascais, e cuja fundação em 1879 se deveu ao

então Príncipe Carlos, torna-se propriedade da Câmara. A fase de instalação do Museu teve início em 1978,

tendo a instituição museológica sido formalmente inaugurada em 7 de Junho de 1992. Mais tarde, em 1997, o

Museu conheceu a alteração da sua designação para Museu do Mar Rei D. Carlos, no que constituiu o recon-

hecimento de um homem que amou o mar e que, através da acção nele desenvolvida, contribuiu para promover,

em termos nacionais e internacionais, o território de Cascais.

ColeCções e Perfil do museu

O Museu do Mar Rei D. Carlos preserva e expõe colecções diversas, tendo o mar como denominador comum:

História Natural (que inclui as secções de Ictiologia, Mamalogia, Ornitologia, Malacologia, Herpetologia e Pale-

ontologia); Etnografia Marítima (engloba as secções de traje, artes tradicionais de pesca e toda uma variada tip-

ologia de artefactos produzidos e utilizados pela comunidade piscatória de Cascais); Arqueologia Subaquática,

O eclectismo das colecções moldou e definiu o perfil deste museu, actualmente mais centrado na história

marítima e marinha de Cascais e que, nos últimos cinco anos, tem vindo a empreender um notável esforço de

renovação dos seus conteúdos expositivos, contando com novas salas e total renovação de outras, marcadas

pela modernidade, cenografia e comunicação mais apelativa e acessível aos públicos. O museu dispõe de

seis salas expositivas, uma sala de audiovisuais e uma biblioteca/centro de documentação especializados em

estoril eden hotel - headquarters

The Estoril Eden Hotel suites were designed for your “restful moments” offering a wonderful sea view over the

Estoril & Cascais coast. The hotel hospitality is a Portuguese tradition.

Located on the Estoril Coast between Estoril and Cascais, the beachfront Hotel Estroil Eden offers 2 swimming

pools, a gym and spacious rooms with a balcony and LCD TV.

The hotel has 162 rooms.

Guests can relax under the palm trees by the outdoor pool or visit the jacuzzi, sauna and indoor pool. There is

also a gym overlooking the pool area and a massage service.

The Garden Pateo Restaurant and the sea-view Bellevue Bar offer live piano music most evenings. Guests can

also enjoy a snack at the Bistrot Bar or a cocktail at the Stella Maris disco bar.

Hotel Estoril Eden is situated 100 metres from the beach and a 10-minute walk from the centre of Cascais. The

Monte Estril Train Station is a 5-minute walk away and offers a direct connection Lisbon in 30 minutes.

by air

Lisboa International Airport, 7 km from the city centre, has daily flights to and from the

major cities in Europe and the world. When you arrive to Lisboa, easily you can reach

the Estoril Coast. It’s just a 30 minutes distance.

The Portuguese airlines TAP – Air Portugal and PGA – Portugália Airlines, as well as

major international airlines, fly to and from Lisboa.

by rail

A very efficient, comfortable railway line connects the region to Lisbon. The journey be-

gins at Cais do Sodré station in Lisbon and ends at Cascais station. It takes just over half

an hour in trains that are punctual, safe, air-conditioned, and comfortable. The view of the

coastline from the train is magnificent and is always pleasing and surprising. The train

station in Estoril is a 5 minute walk from the Estoril Congress Centre.

by sea

Cascais has a modern, well-equipped marina with mooring for 630 boats, of which 120

berths are for boats in transit. The Cascais Marina can accommodate boats of up to 35

metres in length and with 6 metres draught. High tide is up to 3.6 metres.

by road

Arriving in Lisboa, the centre of the Portuguese motorway network, there are clearly

signposted slip-roads leading to the Sintra, Mafra and Cascais motorways. The A5 (to

Cascais) passes through the interior through an area with a high population density and

provides, above all, a fast route from the capital. Most motorways in Portugal charge tolls

and tollgates are clearly indicated. The coast road, the “Marginal”, provides a much more

pleasant, albeit slower journey along the Cascais coast which should not be missed.

from the Cascais. But if you wish to checkout the city and surroundings, you can take a

CENTRAL PORTUGALÓbidos, nazaré and fátima

Castles and imposing monasteries are the emblems of this region. But it also has genuine fishing beaches, pic-

turesque villages and towns perched above the sea on towering cliffs, the finest grottoes and acres of fragrant

coastal pinewoods. Óbidos is a beautiful, walled medieval town, which was recently declared World Heritage.

Caldas da Rainha is a spa founded in 1�85 with a colourful market in the main square. Alcobaça is a former

Cistercian Monastery built to celebrate the 11�7 victory against the Moors. Nazaré is (Portuguese for Nazareth)

seven colourful petticoats. Batalha is the Monastery of the Battle, a gothic masterpiece built to commemorate

the Portuguese victory over the Spaniards in 1385. It houses the tomb of Queen Philipa of Lancaster and also

her children and most notably Henry the Navigator.

The Marian Sanctuary of Fátima attracts millions of visitors. It is a hill town, with a XXth century neo-classical basilica

and a square said to be twice as big as St. Peter’s in Rome. This is where in 1917 three young shepherds saw a series

of miraculous visions climaxed by the solar phenomenon witnessed by thousands. In 2000 it received the third visit by

the Pope who canonised two of the young shepherds. In 2010 it received the first visit of the Pope Bento XVI.

and then by the Romans and still boasts ruins dating from 3500 BC.

vilamoura

The golden sandy beaches and gently lapping waters give the Algarve more of a Mediterranean than Atlantic

flavour: Warmed in water by air from Africa and cooled in Summer by breezes from the Atlantic, the Algarve

enjoys almost 3.000 hours of sunshine all year round. Tiny bays, coves and isolated beaches are separated by

extraordinary rocky cliffs whose reds and gold’s are magnificently accentuated at sunset.

itinerant company involved in travelling shows in Portugal and abroad. The museum is housed in

Bernardas Convent since 2001 which provides just the conditions required for public enjoyment.

the core of the whole estate.

oCeanário

“The Oceans, a Heritage for the Future”, and eternally binds Lisbon to the Oceans. With over one

million visitors per year, the Oceanário welcomes the largest number of patrons anywhere in the

country.

While walking through impressive and unforgettable exhibits, visitors are encouraged to learn fasci-

nating things about the oceans and, more importantly, how to make decisions in their daily lives that

actively promote the conservation of nature.

Planetário

Man has already launched many satellites, walked in space and on the moon and sent space probes

to the remotest parts of the solar system. But, apart from all these technological and scientific ad-

vances, we still have little knowledge about the moon... the sun… the stars... and about our own

planet! Here is a chance to get to know them better. Just sit back and relax – as the heavens open

up and reveal themselves to you.

The Planetário recreates the sky at night and reveals the mysteries of the cosmos. The several

sessions, presented in Portuguese, English and French, will tell you more about “The solar system”,

“The moon”, “The evolution of the stars”, “The movement of the earth”, “Earth – Planet Alive”, “The

universe”, “The sun”, “The constellations” and many others.

in research and related sectors to promote and exhibit the latest technologies and developments in their areas.

visas and legal asPeCts

Portugal has grown by welcoming people from around the world to live together in harmony. In addition, each

year Portugal welcomes over 12 million visitors, temporary workers and students while serving as an example to

other countries of tolerance, harmony and peaceful diversity.

Its location in Europe and just �5 minutes from the African Coast have made Lisbon a multicultural bridge, a city

of immigrants that opens its arms to the peoples of the world. In Portugal, the Immigration and Refugee Protec-

tion Act and Regulations govern the entry of foreign nationals into Portugal and specify a series of objective criteria

regarding such entry. Portugal has traditionally facilitated the entry of all athletes, coaches, judges and related of-

ficials through explicit orders issued and validated by the Government of Portugal.

CPL Events and the Immigration Office have agreed that all delegates to the congress appearing on an official

registration list will be recognized.

Invitation Letters for visas will be provided by the Organisers
